But that’s not the only cardio he does. A fan of martial arts, Cavill also trains in Jiu-Jitsu with one of the most accomplished teachers in the world.

“I’ve done a little bit of boxing, but for me the martial art I do the most is Jiu-Jitsu,” Cavill says. “I’m very fortunate to [work with] the world-famous Roger Gracie. When you’re doing Jiu-Jitsu, you can’t think of anything but Jiu-Jitsu. You have to focus fully on it—or someone chokes you out.”

That training came in handy for his role in Mission: Impossible—Fallout. In the summer blockbuster, Cavill plays CIA agent August Walker, who butts heads with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) when he’s forced to join Hunt’s IMF team to help stop a global catastrophe.
